Wicked national tour at Music Hall

Wicked is back in Dallas, and the big correction here is simple — this is not a four-day stop. The national tour opened at Music Hall at Fair Park on Tuesday, May 6, and it stays there through Sunday, June 14. That changes the whole picture for anyone who thought this was a blink-and-you-miss-it weekend event. It’s a full Broadway Dallas engagement, with a long performance calendar and a lot more room to plan. (broadwaydallas.org) ### So what actually opened? This is the North American tour of Wicked, the long-running musical that tells the Oz story from the perspective of Elphaba and Glinda before Dorothy shows up. In Dallas, it’s playing at the Music Hall at Fair Park as part of the 2025/2026 Broadway Series. Broadway Dallas lists the local run as May 6 to June 14, and the official tour schedule matches that window. (broadwaydallas.org) ### Why is the date range the big deal? Because the early framing makes it sound like a short event, but turns out Dallas got a five-week booking. Fair Park’s event page shows performances across multiple weeks, not just May 7 to May 10. Broadway Dallas even flags that the best availability is later — from May 19 through June 14 — which is useful if the first few shows look crowded or expensive. (broadwaydallas.org) ### What are the showtimes this weekend? For the immediate weekend, Fair Park lists a Friday, May 8 performance at 7:30 p.m., two Saturday, May 9 performances, and two Sunday, May 10 performances. Broadway Dallas also lists the show’s running time at 2 hours and 45 minutes, including one intermission. So this is a full-night theater outing, not a quick pop-in event. (fairparkdallas.com) ### What does it cost? Broadway Dallas advertises seats starting at $56, while Fair Park lists a broader ticket range of $60 to $240. Those are the official venue-presenter numbers and they’re the ones that matter most here. Resale marketplaces show wider swings, but the cleaner takeaway is that standard pricing starts in the mid-double digits and climbs fast for stronger locations. (broadwaydallas.org) ### Is this the same Wicked people already know? Basically, yes — this is the same blockbuster touring title, not a reworked local production or a short concert version. The official tour page places Dallas on a national routing that continues next to Omaha, Minneapolis, Kansas City, and other cities. That matters because it tells you this i(broadwaydallas.org) same brand expectations people associate with Wicked. (tour.wickedthemusical.com) ### Why is Dallas getting this kind of run? Because Dallas is a major touring market for Broadway shows, and Wicked is one of the safest bets in musical theater. Broadway Dallas is presenting it as a headline engagement in its season lineup, not filler between smaller titles. A five-week stay at the Music Hall signals strong demand and enou(tour.wickedthemusical.com)That last point is partly inference, but it fits the length of the engagement and the presenter’s positioning.

There are many more performances after May 10, and Broadway Dallas is explicitly steering buyers toward later dates for better availability. The age guidance is 8 and up, with no children under 5 adm(broadwaydallas.org)imed at a sit-still theater crowd. (broadwaydallas.org) ### Bottom line The news is not just that Wicked hit Dallas. It’s that Dallas got a real run — May 6 through June 14 — at Music Hall at Fair Park, with official prices starting around $56 and more seat options opening later in May. (broadwaydallas.org)
